With gas prices over $3/gallon now and my only land based trips being south to Richmond and maybe north as far as NYC I think I am just going to have to bite the bullet and get it done around here. Real pisser is I only put 6k miles on it but I am nearing 18 months since the last service. Nothing like a $650 oil change (cause that's all it really is), oh and they wash it for you (was planning on doing that this weekend anyway.
